About Localized

Localized is a career intelligence company that connects learners with industry experts to guide them and employers to hire them. With the support of Tamkeen, we are running a 24-week employability program in Bahrain to help local nationals sharpen their skills and improve their job placement outcomes.

We are passionate about empowering young talent and connecting them to the right resources, opportunities, and networks. If you're excited about making a difference in people's lives, Localized is the place for you.

This role starts as a contract position and is expected to become a full-time role for the full duration of the program, with focus areas shifting based on the program calendar.

Primary Responsibilities

This is a dynamic dual-role position. During live training phases, you'll work closely with learners as a facilitator, supporting their job readiness journey.

   • Engagement Strategies: Support the development and execution of engagement strategies (in partnership with facilitators and the expert trainer).
   • Post-Course Follow-Up: Track graduates' placement status and post-program activities during the 12-week follow-up phase.
4. Reporting & Record-Keeping
   • Maintain detailed and up-to-date records of learner attendance, submissions, and placement outcomes.
   • Provide periodic reports to the program management team and Tamkeen.
5. Employer Liaison Support
